Australia Public Holidays 2011 Calendar
List of 2011 Australia Public Holidays
Most of public holidays in Australia are declared on a state and territory basis, except for some holidays which are observed in all states and territories, and are therefore de facto national holidays.
Usually, public and private workers in Australia are entitled to take off on a public holiday with regular pay, while businesses that are normally open on a public holiday may require employees to work on the day. Traditionally, in this case, the workers were paid at a penalty rate – usually 1½ (known as “time and a half”) or 2 times (known as “double time”) the regular pay. In recent years this tradition has changed somewhat. Most of the entitlement to penalty rates of pay has been reduced or entirely eliminated in many work places.
Besides designating days as Australia public holidays 2011, some of these days are also designated as restricted trading days.
Unlike many countries when a public holiday falls on a weekend, the following work day may or may not be considered a public holiday in Australia depending on the state/territory and the holiday in question.
Here is a table from wikipedia for such arrangement
